If you are planning to attend Comic-Con International this year — or if you think you might want to go at some future date — do yourself a favor and get yourself a Member I.D. It doesn't cost anything and you only have to do it once for the rest of your life. It will expedite matters when you do want to register for this year's or some future year's Comic-Con. And no, I don't know when registration for this year's gathering will occur. But it will be soon and when registration opens, you'll want to have your Member I.D. number handy.
